KARA Faces The Actors

KARA recently performed their new single “Jumping” at the 31st Blue Dragon Awards. KARA netizens were upset by the editing of the performance and the lukewarm reception KARA received from the audience. I do agree that the editing was a little WTF at times. But, fans must face facts when it comes to idols and award shows. These showbiz actors are not idols’ target audience and these award shows are not Inkigayo or Music Bank. Of course there will be awkwardness. But hey, at least the reception wasn’t as bad as the one SNSDreceived while performing at the 47th Daejong Film Awards.

However, the audience seemed very immersed in 2AM‘s performance of “You Wouldn’t Answer My Calls.”

That one guy was singing!!! That’s a plus! lol
I do thank the editing for showing me Won Bin, Song Joong Ki, and Daniel Choi all within a minute

Yeah, they are smiling! But, honestly, if it wasn’t my favorite group (or a group I knew nothing about) that was performing, I would probably react just like them. I would maybe smile and nod my head, but there would be no raucous cheering, especially at an event centered on actors.

“But, fans must face facts when it comes to idols and award shows.”— i agree.

That guy bopping his head (think it’s Daniel Choi)- isn’t he the same guy who was pretty excited when 2PM came on during the Daejong awards? I guess you can tell who listens to idol music. hhaha

i don’t know about you guys but those are the same faces I make when i watch kara and 2am performances. in fact, maybe they were a bit more generous with kara.

I always feel they should have a solo performer like Gummy perform at award shows rather than idol groups. I mean, an awards show is a much more formal event.

taho

THIS.

well like i said this before and will say it again, its a awards show. Its a FORMAL event for heavens sakes. Its not music bank, the audience has to observe some form of decorum – even if they secretly wanted to cheer loudly. And I’m sure not all of them there are fans of idol groups, they probably listen to other music too.

“even if they secretly wanted to cheer loudly” << WHAAAAT??

So a talentless dance-troupe rightly receive little applause due to lack-luster performance and daylight-deprived fans/netizens get massively angry because the audience didn't clap frantically like brain-dead imbeciles.

What does this tell you about K-pop fans?

erm, relax man. i merely stated that, cause you never know, there MIGHT be ppl in the audience who are crazy fans of KARA, and secretly want to cheer but cant. Thats a possibility. Just as 100% of them not caring for KARA is another possibility. Anything is possible these days.

Just trying to be objective and see things from both sides. I dunno what ur problem is. For pete’s sake, relax.

Emm talentless? what are you on about those actors/actresses have been brainwashed into thinking they are better then idols when in fact that is not true idols work much harder then those actors and they could never do their job becuase of how hard it is so please they are just to rude to show nice emotions like everyone else because in their heads they think they are better. OK

I don’t know why people keep making a big deal out of this. When you watch a performance on tv or on youtube, you’re usually expressionless.

in young

exactly.

I feel if idol groups are going to perform on formal award shows like this then they should sing a ballad song. I think that this why 2am was well receive but like u stated KARA had a better response than SNSD.

Maria

Exactly and even though they bore the audience they still invite them all the time its so annoying becuase they don’t give any of the other idols a chance for them to perform its always SNSD SNSD and SNSD they are so rubbish i don’t even know how they got so famous

hiya

I think they learned from last award shows to just show actors and not actresses! lol

I am happy my kara got the chance to perform at this award and not those bloody SNSD they are crap as hell and cant sing live to save their lives. kara showed them how it is suppoused to be done without all that lipsync
